Solution
The correct option is B Ficus
The epidermis cells is a single layered group of cells that covers plants leaves, flowers, roots and stems. It forms a boundary between the plant and the external environment. The cells of the epidermis are structurally and functionally variable. Most plants have an epidermis that is a single cell layer thick. Some plants like Ficus elastica and Peperomia exhibit periclinal cellular division within the protoderm of the leaves and they have an epidermis with multiple cell layers. This provides for an extrordinary capacity of water retention.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
